Review: Suspiria
 
After seeing a lot of praises for this movie, I purchased it. I was expecting a lot more from this movie, but I was disappointed by it somewhat. I liked the music and some of the gore, but I didnt find the plot very interesting and it wasnt scary at all. And I didnt care for the ending at all. Am i the only one who didnt find this movie very entertaining?? I give it a 6/10. Maybe i didnt find it entertaining because the last few movies i saw were "The Shining", "Saw", "Donnie Darko" and "Dog Soldiers" which all were very good.

i wasnt crazy about suspiria ... i dug the texture .. the atmosphere ... and the music which went a long way in the creation of both those things ... but it left me feeling a bit empty.

Deep Red was a lot better .. for me

I enjoyed Suspiria very much.

Argento's movies are always fun to watch. As for it not being scary, I can't think of one movie that scared me after age 10.

I liked "Suspiria," it's got a lot of style, and it scared the heck out of me the first time I saw it. Upsetting and abrasive as all get-out. But "Deep Red" I liked such more, because it's so lavish and pseudo-intellectual and fun (while at the same time being SICK and WRONG).

WHAT THE FUCK??!!! :eek: Suspiria and Argento's movies are fucking awesome. Suspiria can be kinda confusing (maybe replace "kinda" with "really fucking") which puts a lot of people off. I found that it's a movie that improves with repeated veiwings (everything makes a bit more sense and there's a lot of stuff that you pick up on that you missed). But yeh I guess Argento's not for everyone ;)

Damn right it's not for everyone. I, for one, like to hear the dialogue when it's being spoken, not some loud, overbearing soundtrack that not only seems out-of-place most of the movie but is also out of sync with the editing. Suspiria was not a confusing or even slightly interesting movie in my opinion. But what really bothers me about Argento's films in general is all that LOUD MUSIC. It's brutal. It totally kills any of the subtleness or "creepiness" of some of the more "key" scenes in his movies.

i didn't mind inferno so much...suspiria's pretty lame i think...he makes perfume commercials with an occasional black cat running by the set.....anybody remember the t.v. commercial for the perfume "egoiste"...where the french ladies are opening the shudders and shouting?
his daughters a masterpiece....ill give him and his ballsack that much.
